It lias ;issiivcij uuestion in Uresoti, the Hillsuoro Independent says: " "And right here on our borders is another grant -that is forfeited, a little grant of only 1,200,000 acres the Oregon Central grant from McMinnville to Astoria. This grant has barred out hundreds of honest toilers from settling already. The grant has already been ex tended once, and now it is for feited. The company hold it and pay no tax on it, and people will not buy because they arc afraid of the title. These lordly corpora tions can hold land without paying taxes on it. "Will our congress men allow this corporation to con tinue to hold this land from year to year when it is plain they do not intend to construct this road? The law that made it necessary to pass an act declaring these grants forfeited before they would revert to the Government was made in the interest of the mo nopolies and land grabbers any way and it ought to bo expunged from the statutes." It has not only "haired out hun dreds of honest settlers from set tling there already" but is driving out thoo who have settled there and want to stay but can get no assured title to the property that Uncle Sam promised them when they came heie. Some Obstacles. The principal obstacles to the revival of the mercantile marine, ai e the repressive laws in force, which have been recapitulated by an ex change in a clear and i.oucise man ner as follews: The measurement of the tonnage of American ships subjects them to a large expense, over that which .1 British ship of the same capacity is compelled to pay. The British ship's meas urement etcltfdes all space except that set aside for freight. Tho American ship, on the contrary, is measured so as to include cab ins, space for crew, coal, boileis, ship's material, etc. As all ton nage, lighthouse, wharf, harbor, hospital and other dues aie com puted on the tonnage, the diller- t'nee between what a British ship and American ship pays annually is equivalent to a large subsidy for tho former and an enormous tax upon the latter. Another heavy burden which American ships are compelled to bear is the present regulations relative to the ship ping of sailors, Tho British gov ernment ubolished all such costly contrivances a: shipping commis sioners years ago. Consular chaiges is another burden. It costs an American ship 01.153 lor con sular Tees where the British ship of the same tonnage would pay but 10.44. The requirements known as three months "extra wages," is not only a burden but a great injustice, from which Eng lish ship-owners are exempted. And finally American ships are taxed, whether they earn anything or not, whereas the earnings only of English ships are taxeda dis tinction with a very marked dif ference. Theso are few of the changes necessary before Ameri can vessels can be employed in the foreign trade, with a view to profit. Congress ought to promptly relievo shipping fr6m all unneces sary burdens; that done, it may appear that subsidies are needless, whether the purehaso of forcign bnilt be allowed or not. A PjtESBYTCRriYK missionary at Fort Wrangell, Alaska, rites th.it persons accused of witchcraft near hpr station arc punished vith death. An old woman, whom the natives charged with being an agent of the devil, was tied to a tree jmd left five daS without food. Her thirst was aggravated with salt water, and at last she was hacked to pieces with knives. For One-quarter What it Now Costs. Tin: Orenonian has from time : to time assumed to lecture. The Dalle - , and tho settlor upon the' I Columbia river above the Ct&- ' cades for claiming: anv richt to cx- r.onf -i;f rm. !, i...nn f.i . , iiuiiu- imu pastaig raw-, vuu-ii ... , . I US II1UL Till" "111W1IM couiitiv will J have become .uncustomed to t!h i i u. ... use of railways, and that The TJailcs will find that it has snrili I use for the liver,'' and that the i work at the Cascades "is otn- of mere lecai utility,"' etc. If the Oregonian presented this argu-" ment believing: it to be true, we would advise it, so long as we do not ask Portland to help us with funds to lobby, or to clear the ob structions of the Cascades, to turn its mighty efforts to building a railroad which Portland pople would "become accustomed to" after a while, to Astoria, and .1 l be constantly whining about the obstructions along the river or up the Willamette. Such a raihoad, with its loads of wheat, could al low its cars to stop long enough as they passed Portland for people to j'imp off or on, and the wheat could be landed alongside the ship at Astoria for one quarter what it now costs to get to Portland, and the e.tra charges at that port avoided, piovided an- approacli to the rates enjoyed by Indiana, Il linois, Iowa, .Missouri and other eastern localitiea could be enjoyed here. Dalles Jirounlaincer. .Should Have Them. Give us locks through the Cas cades and through The Dalles, and we will sec if it will cost as much to get wheat from Walla. Walla to Astoria as it now does. The ex tra freight paid of one years pro duct of wheat in fie years from now will build locks at the Cas cades and Dalles and open a vast country. Dalles Mountaineer. Or Gen. Grant 'tis said that he sits in his library, filled with books apparently bought by the4 yard, and, as ho smokes, nervously turn ing his cigar over and over in his mouth, he tells remniscenccs. His memory is oiy great, and now that he has no special reason to be a sphinx, he dh-cusses men in public life very freely, and, with an almost unexpected -felicity of cvpicssion, describes the different shades of their character, dwelling, perhaps, most upon the seamy side, where faults and blemishes may be seen. Ho has a company of his old cronies about him, and, as one gets a glimpse of the throng, the impression becomes vivid that they are a lot of old toper-, nho have sworn off, for the color of the mbyhas not ynt left tho tips of their noses. The last trip of the Cunard steamship Sei via from NcwYoik to Liverpool, is h.iid tohaebcen the fastest across the Atlantic yet accomplished.

Ax English .statistician calcu lates that cvcr3' man on an average speaks fifty-two volumes of (J00 octavo pages per annum, and that evory woman yearly, brings out 520 volumes of the same sire in talk.
